Splitting the difference between the roomy Nissan Titan quad-cab and the smaller single cab, the new Titan King Cab offers a happy medium.

The new King Cab, or extended cab as the rest of the pickup world calls it, has two additional rear-hinged doors that can only open when the front doors are open. The King Cab comes only with a 6.5-foot bed like the Titan XD Crew Cab, while the half-ton Crew Cab makes do with a 5.5-foot bed. The regular cab comes with an eight-foot bed.

Interestingly, the Titan King Cab is available with or without a rear seat. Up front, the buyer has their choice of a bench or two bucket seats; depending on configuration, the King Cab can be a two-, three-, five- or six-seat vehicle.

The King Cab is also offered on the Titan XD. Two engine options are offered with the Titan King Cab – a 5.6-litre gasoline V8 with 390 horsepower, or the mighty 5.0-litre Cummins turbodiesel V8 with 310 horsepower and 555 lb.-ft. of torque. The gas V8 gets a seven-speed automatic transmission, while the Cummins V8 is hooked up to a six-speed gearbox.
